Thanks for the hints.  I have almost the same configure as yours.  Would
you try this for me when you by chance reboot your machine?  Unplug the
USB mouse,  boot OS,  startx,  plugin the USB mouse.  Does the USB mouse
work right away?  In my case,  "cat /dev/input/mice" trick works,  but
the X does not detect the change.

Thanks!
